Getting Started

Congratulations on being accepted to Holy Cross College! Getting started with technology services at HC is easy. Please review the sections below for guidance.

Your Username and Password

Every Holy Cross student is assigned login credentials for two groups of resources that are separately maintained.

Before continuing, you will need to know your Student ID number. It is a 9 digit number in the format of ‘8000#####’ or ‘8001#####’, where the hash marks are random numbers assigned to you. Your Student ID is not printed on your Student ID Card; the number on the back of your ID Card is your Library Bar Code. Your Student ID is available from your Academic Advisor, Admission Counselor, and is printed on many Business Office documents.

As an example, let’s assume that your name is “Jane Smith” and your Student ID number is “800012345”. Then you will use the following credentials to login to these services:

Used to authenticate your personal computer on the campus wireless and Residence Hall networks, and to login to computers in the Computer Lab. Also used to access Moodle, the college’s Learning Management Software. The HCC Portal contains billing information, grade reports, course registration, and more.

What to do when you come to campus

Connect to the network: If using a wired connection, plug your network cable into the orange plug in your residence hall. If using the wireless connection, connect to the “Holy Cross College” access point. Once connected, open your internet browser and follow the instructions that appear on your screen, using the login credentials detailed above. CLICK HERE for more detailed instructions.

Stop by the security office to either pick-up your ID card (if you previously had your picture taken), or have your picture taken.
